Hello everyone, I need help with a site I'm trying to design. I'd like to start off by saying I'm a newbie in the world of Web Design. I found a free CSS template and have edited it and edited the rest of the site using Dreamweaver CS4. Here is my site. The major problem I'm having is with IE8. The text wants to become a link. It renders fine in Firefox and Safari, but not in IE8. I wouldn't be concerned, because I do not use IE8 ever, but I know a lot of people do. I can send you any code you might need, just let me know. Thanks in advance

Maybe you should try fixing your errors first:

IE8 apparently doesn't like this:

<li><a href="Mission Statement.html">Mission Statement
<!--[if IE 7]><!-->
</a>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->

</li>

Doesnt' appear that it's seeing the </a> on the menu at all, so making ALL text that follows after that a link. All that table code for IE6 isn't necessary, and frankly, I wouldn't bother with it. The sooner we stop supporting IE6 that way, the sooner it will finally DID - it's less than 5% usage now.

Just cleaninmg up may work.

<li><a href="Mission Statement.html">Mission Statement<!--[if IE 7]></a>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->
</li>
